Oleksandriya's head coach Ruslan Rotan commented on the call-up of the team's midfielder Ivan Kalyuzhny to the national team of Ukraine.
"We are very pleased that the national team coaches see and call up our players. But we need to make compliments for our players - for Ivan, for Sani Martyniuk, the same. I am sure that if they act the same way, work the same way in training, it will not be limited to one player. Therefore, the main thing is to see the goal and work hard in training.
I am very pleased with Ivan. After the national team, where he gave his all, there could have been devastation somewhere. But today he was a true professional. That's what Ivan and I talked about before the match - that it is important to understand now that yes, the first call-up to the national team, an emotional match, but now you have to constantly prove, at every training session, every match, that he is a player of the national team. This is already a brand, you need to keep it," Rotan said on UPL.TV.
